Abstract
Devices for testing, identifying, and compensating for ocular pathologies affecting the vision of a patient are provided in the form of digital therapeutic corrective spectacles that provided personalized, customized visual field corrected/enhancement. The devices include wearable spectacles with one or more digital monitors that are used to recreate an entire visual field as a digitized corrected image or that include custom-reality glasses that can be used to overlay a visual scene with generated image to correct or enhance the visual field of the subject.
Claims30
A system comprising:
- a wearable spectacles device having a housing and a display configured to display an image to at least one eye of a subject during a visioning mode;
- an inwardly directed image sensor coupled to the wearable spectacle device and configured to track a pupil physical condition and/or line of sight of the subject;
- an outwardly directed vision field camera configured to capture a vision field of the subject's field of view during the visioning mode;
- and
- an image processing device having a processor and a memory, the image processing device storing instructions on the memory, where the instructions, when executed, cause the processor to:
- in a testing mode, (i) instruct the display to display a plurality of testing stimuli to the subject at one or more testing locations over a testing visual field, (ii) instruct the inwardly directed image sensor to capture position indications of the pupil physical condition and/or line of sight during the displaying of the plurality of testing stimuli, and (iii) determine one or more affected regions in the testing visual field and determine one or more vision pathologies of the subject, wherein the plurality of stimuli differ in contrast levels with respect to each other and with respect to a baseline contrast level;
- and/or
- in the visioning mode, correct the image to enhance the field of view and/or compensate for the one or more affected regions and instruct the display to display the corrected image to the subject wearing the wearable spectacle device.

A system, the system comprising:
- a wearable spectacle device having at least one digital monitor configured to display an image to an eye of the subject;
- at least one vision field camera configured to capture a plurality of monocular images of a scene, each monocular image being shifted from each other monocular image;
- an image processing device having a processor and a memory, and coupled to the at least one digital monitor, the image processing device storing instructions on the memory, where the instructions, when executed, cause the processor to:
- combine the plurality of monocular images into a combined image having a field of view greater than a field of view of any one of the plurality of monocular images;
- and
- display the combined image to the at least one digital monitor for presenting the subject with widened field view of the scene.
3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a wearable spectacles device, the wearable spectacles device having at least one optical element for passing an image of a visible scene to the subject,
- the wearable spectacles device further having at least one digital monitor corresponding to the at least one optical element, the at least one digital monitor being configured to overlay a corrective imaging element over an image of the visible scene of the at least one optical element;
- and
- an image processing device, having a processor and a memory, and coupled to the at least one digital monitor, the image processing device configured to:
- generate the corrective imaging element as a peripheral element of the image of the visible scene to correct for a peripheral visual field defect or generate the corrective imaging element as a central element of the image of the visible scene to correct for a central visual detect;
- and
- display the corrective image element over visible scene to the subject.
